PermissionError when importing pdfplumber

[bradt723]

I have installed pdfplumber using pip, but when I try to import it in my IDE it yields the following error. This error persists in other IDEs.

import pdfplumber

Traceback (most recent call last):

Has anyone else encountered this or know a fix?

That looks like an issue with the filesystem permissions for the directory to which your computer has installed the library. Do you encounter a similar error when trying to import other third-party modules installed via pip?

The issue was indeed file system permissions due to using my work laptop. I resolved the problem with IT. Thank you for the response!
